**It is never too late to make a change.** At the eastern end of the Himalayas between India and China, you will find the landlocked kingdom of Bhutan where traditional Buddhism rules. In mid-September, a dog was found roaming this mountainous region alone. Half his hair was missing due to mange, a skin disease caused by mites. Tim Gorski, a filmmaker and animal rights activist, contacted a local rescue group called The Maya Foundation (TMF). They took action by bringing the dog to Paro, Bhutan, where they set him on a road to recovery. He was named Tim after his rescuer. The team at TMF has done some other amazing things including providing a mule with a temporary PVC prosthetic following amputation surgery and preparing animals for adoption. See Tim’s incredible transformation here:
